I believe BoinxTV can accept feed from Axis IP cameras. You might be
able to set up a couple of these and send back to BoinxTV to switch.
This might be worth testing with Teradek Cube in Wifi (not 3G/4G)
mode. The base station computer would have to be near by on the wifi
network. I believe the Cube can hook into a local network or can
create one adhoc. This way instead of screen grabbing a web page or
trying to switch sources in Livestream stream, you'd have much more
control. Having a wireless mic near the facilitators would also help.
I know there'd be some challenges in setting up the local network but
if you had one that was password protected so it doesn't get saturated
with "mass access" it might be viable.

It's ok Todd. Sorry again for snapping back. I know unless you got a full
tutorial on livestream it wouldn't be absolutely clear as to the process.
Also Vlad I think more than the boring angle we need to work on the audio
issue. Ideally if we have 2 to 3 livestream angles it would help up the
production value (something that can be done with the current equipment).
We can put one camera with a mic on the facilitators at all time. The
second angle can float through the audience to get an angle/mic on blockers,
concerners, and point of process people. That would just take 2
livestreamers and someone in the livestream studio mixing the feeds. When
the crowd is larger we can have 2 floaters to get voices from opposite sides
of the parks. The key in this is the livestream studio person paying
attention and cueing up the different angles in a timely fashion.

I think to cover GA well we should sit down and think about best ways
tonshoot it. one angle gets borng but if you alternate angles it might get
better. Maybe we should install a cheap security system feeding into a
Broadcasting computer....

I second dwaynes last comment, also noting that even the viewers get bored
after a few hours out of a 5 hour GA

I would like to say that I don't decide what anyone gets to view. The
person controlling the livestream studio decides what the audience views. I
wasn't the only livestreamer at the park during the GA. I was just the only
one that admitted on camera that I didn't want to cover it.

Furthermore I don't know what Thorin's personal decisions have to do with
my issue with the way the GA is currently executed.

I suggest you two discuss peacefully off the listserve and let's try
to keep online engagement cordial.

We're all trying our best here and we're all on the same team. Let's
try to find more productive ways of problem solving. You guys are both
doing awesome jobs! Thanks from millions of people worldwide.
